Tania is the director of OpenHAUS, a practice she runs in collaboration with Christine Phillips. Although founded by architects, OpenHAUS is not a practice about buildings but rather a practice interested in spatial agency – the way spaces and environments can add to our everyday experiences. Through the creation of public art projects, exhibitions and architectural events OpenHAUS aims to draw attention to the spaces we use every day and how these spaces impact, enhance and influence our lives.
